It moves the version in Current if you don't specify an explicit
version. There is no way to make it move all versions built in (that I
see) - cd /Programs/Foo && for i in * ; do [[ "$i" != "Settings" &&
"$i" != "Current" ]] && CurrentDetachProgram Foo $i ; done will work.

That's the procedure, yes. Take a look at AttachProgram -r, though, I
think that does what you're looking for (I'm not certain of that, I
just read the code).

SymlinkProgram re-links Current if you don't specify a version.
